Understanding acidity’s role in cancer survival
New research into the acidity of cancers could open the door to the development of new treatments and therapeutics.
New insights into cell metabolism and how it is altered in disease conditions
While cell metabolism is what helps cancer cells grow and proliferate, it may also hold the key to developing new ways to diagnose and treat the disease. But this requires that we first fully understand the inner workings of this hugely complex system – which is exactly what the EU-funded CancerFluxome project set out to do.
A new hope for treatment-resistant breast and ovarian cancer
The EU-funded TargetBRCA project has identified new ways to attack tumours that resist conventional treatments such as chemotherapy.
Understanding what makes a strong, healthy bone
Using a new optimised sample preparation process, researchers can better understand the difference between healthy and dysfunctional bone mineralisation.
Regenerating a broken heart
Researchers take a deep dive into cardiac regeneration and its potential for repairing a damaged heart.
Positioning MRI as an Effective Prostate Cancer Screening Tool
Often exhibiting no symptoms until an advanced stage, prostate cancer remains a difficult disease to detect. While screening can help, current practices, which test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, lack specificity and can be elevated for reasons other than cancer. MRI has the potential to close this screening gap.
Making the Case for Prostate MRI's Role in Active Surveillance
Active surveillance is a conservative management approach that is increasingly being used for patients with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
Leveraging History to Prepare for the Future
'History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme' is a quote often credited to Mark Twain. But regardless of the saying's origin, the notion touches on the point that while we may view today's events, discoveries and circumstances as being unprecedented, upon closer examination, one will likely find that everything has some historic precedent.
Radiology is no exception.
Direct-to-Consumer Imaging Centers Offer Whole Body Imaging With Little Context
For many people, the allure of addressing health issues before they are beyond medical treatment, can provide peace of mind. Marketing efforts used by whole-body imaging services tend to highlight “lifesaving diagnoses.” Unfortunately, such claims can be more hype than substance.
Gantry-Free Cone-Beam CT Offers More Flexibility for Elbow Imaging
While elbow injuries are a common sight in the emergency room, quality images of those injuries can be difficult to achieve.
New insights into a tumour’s ability to adapt to therapies
The discovery of new cancer driver genes could open the door to the development of more effective therapeutic methods for treating colorectal cancer.
Survivors of Childhood Cancer: Risk of Future Disease, Screening Needs and the Role of Radiology
As treatment for childhood cancers continues to improve, so too has the chance for long-term survival. But as childhood cancer survivors enter adulthood, they face an increased risk for developing new conditions related to their prior cancer therapy.
Pioneering biocompatible materials for implanted medical devices
Miniature medical devices have the potential to screen, monitor, diagnose and treat a range of body functions, conditions and diseases. But implanting these devices into the body requires safe, non-toxic materials. The biocompatible materials developed by the EU-funded BioWings project could open the door to a new era of medical innovation for EU citizens and the world.
Stress and trauma’s impact on health
New research connects experiencing significant stress or a traumatic event to a higher risk of developing a number of diseases.
Using rsfMRI to Head Into the Next Frontier of Radiology
When it comes to better understanding the inner workings of the brain, functional MRI (fMRI) has been nothing short of a gamechanger.
